TIMESERIES METADATA

Using command line options, pmseries can be requested to provide
       metadata (metric names, instance names, labels, descriptors)
       associated with either individual timeseries or a group of
       timeseries, for example:

         $ pmseries -a dcb2a032a308b5717bf605ba8f8737e9c6e1ed19

         dcb2a032a308b5717bf605ba8f8737e9c6e1ed19
             PMID: 60.0.21
             Data Type: 64-bit unsigned int  InDom: PM_INDOM_NULL 0xffffffff
             Semantics: counter  Units: millisec
             Source: f5ca7481da8c038325d15612bb1c6473ce1ef16f
             Metric: kernel.all.cpu.nice
             labels {"agent":"linux","domainname":"localdomain",\
                     "groupid":1000,"hostname":"shard",\
                     "latitude":-25.28496,"longitude":152.87886,\
                     "machineid":"295b16e3b6074cc8bdbda8bf96f6930a",\
                     "userid":1000}

       The complete set of pmseries metadata reporting options are:

       -a, --all
            Convenience option to report all metadata for the given
            timeseries, equivalent to -deilms.

       -d, --desc
            Metric descriptions detailing the PMID, data type, data
            semantics, units, scale and associated instance domain.
            This option has a direct pminfo(1) equivalent.

       -F, --fast
            Query or load series metadata only, not values.

       -g pattern, --glob=pattern
            Provide a glob(7) pattern to restrict the report provided by
            the -i, -l, -m, and -S.

       -i, --instances
            Metric descriptions detailing the PMID, data type, data
            semantics, units, scale and associated instance domain.

       -I, --fullindom
            Print the InDom in verbose mode.  This option has a direct
            pminfo(1) equivalent.

       -l, --labels
            Print label sets associated with metrics and instances.
            Labels are optional metric metadata described in detail in
            pmLookupLabels(3).  This option has a direct pminfo(1)
            equivalent.

       -m, --metrics
            Print metric names.

       -M, --fullpmid
            Print the PMID in verbose mode.  This option has a direct
            pminfo(1) equivalent.

       -n, --names
            Print comma-separated label names only (not values) for the
            labels associated with metrics and instances.

       -s, --series
            Print timeseries identifiers associated with metrics,
            instances and sources.  These unique identifiers are
            calculated from intrinsic (non-optional) labels and other
            metric metadata associated with each PMAPI context
            (sources), metrics and instances.  Archive, local context or
            pmcd(1) connections for the same host all produce the same
            source identifier.  This option has a direct pminfo(1)
            equivalent.  See also pmLookupLabels(3) and the -l/--labels
            option.
